Dr. Randy McCormick uses the technologically advanced Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure for the treatment of gum disease. Traditional methods require the dentist to utilize a scalpel to cut away diseased tissue and often to extract the exposed teeth, replacing them with dentures or bridges. The LANAP laser gum surgery leaves the healthy gums behind so that teeth are less exposed and may be able to be saved. Disease-causing bacteria are removed, and the bone is stimulated for regeneration.

By providing patients with advances in dental technology, Dr. McCormick works to improve the dental health of patients. Millions of U.S. citizens suffer from gum disease, and LANAP is quickly becoming the gum disease treatment of choice. Many patients who have not sought treatment before may be more willing to undergo laser gum surgery. Patients have reported that minimal pain is associated with the treatment and that the down-time is short.

The procedure begins with a check of the periodontal pocket depth, and then the pulsed laser light is used to kill the bacteria and unhealthy gum tissue. Calculus deposits below the line of the gums are removed with ultrasonic scalers, and then the gums are compacted against the teeth roots. Clotting is promoted, which helps to seal the gums to the teeth, thus eliminating the need for sutures. Bone regeneration is stimulated as a part of the procedure. Many patients find that they can resume normal duties, such as going to work, within a day of the procedure.

By eliminating gum disease from the mouth, dental problems such as gum recession, poor dental bite due to tooth movement and tooth loss, may all be reduced or prevented. In addition, because gum or periodontal disease has been linked to health issues that include such things as respiratory and heart problems, eliminating the disease can help to improve overall health. Good oral health is an important part of overall physical health, and getting treatment for periodontal disease is critical.
